\"George<\/a>That seems to be the message from this article in The Hill<\/a> about a new jobs bill (AKA: stimulus) being proposed by Nancy Pelosi ally George Miller (D-CA).<\/p>\n

Miller’s bill would make $100 billion in grants available to localities over the next two years in the form of grant programs for funds to save or create local jobs, or to create work-training programs for city workers.<\/p>\n

The key House chairman said that while a decision would be made by leadership, he would prefer to see the program paid for by deficit spending, a potential violation of the pay-as-you-go, or pay-go, rules approved last month in Congress.<\/p>\n

“I think this should be funded out of the deficit,” Miller said on a conference call, framing his proposal as an extension of the Recovery Act. “We’re not going to continue this deficit if we continue to lay people off.”<\/p>\n

We suppose this money could be used for private sector job training, but we doubt that’s going to happen. Mainly this will be a boon to teachers, cops, and various other unionized, public-sector workers who will be in the first position to grab the cash.<\/p>\n
